    Tikka Hunter 25-06 still wish I hadnt sold it. The calibre used as standard by the UK Forestry Commission Rangers, on Reds, Fallow, Roe, Sika etc, so must be good for something

    No, 2506s at 20 yards, but a handbag is no doubt deadlier

    I miss this thing, 150LRAB @2850 put the hurt on near and far, 20" barrel made it nice and easy to point and carry, was my main rifle for quite a while and It never failed me and nothing walked away from it. I have a "blank canvas" one sitting here I will do the same with one day.

    I bet old mate back in the day didn't see all this trouble when he picked up his .257 neck die in one hand and some 270 brass in the other...

    @Simmo you should know better than to argue with 25-06 owners. Owning such a calibre shows they aren't capable of reason or logic

    I've got a 25-06 and a 6.5x55.

    The 25 is very flat shooting and pushes a 100gr bullet out at 3,300+ fps and knocks over medium size deer (fallow) with ease at 300m and I shoot a fair few at that distance+. However, the lighter bullets are affected to an extent by wind.

    The 6.5x55 is slower but is a very effective calibre and you can get a far greater range of bullets for the 6.5 which gives you far more flexability (100gr - 160gr). The recoil is very mild even without a moderator and it has far less 'bark' that the 06 or the 270.

    I'd thoroughly recomend either calibre over a 270 and ammunition for both was easily available last time I was in NZ, but I would recomend you stick a mod on the end!
